Once I Was Not Here Poem by Mohammad Younus

Once I was not here,
Not in this form!
There has come upon me...
...a period of time...
...when I was nothing!
But now I am a man:
The most beautiful thing!
The most perfect being!
If there's really a secret...
... It is only me! It is only me!

If the truth can be known...
...and encompassed at all...
...it could only be known by man,
Not by any other being,
Man, the supercreation of God!
Whom God gave life by his own spirit;
That very spirit whispers...
...to people of knowledge and wisdom:
'If anybody could be in God's image
It could only be you,
Man, you have nothing of your own
Neither body nor soul!
If I had any body, if I had any soul.
...then, without question, it could only be you.
But, I have neither body, nor soul,
I am what I am! '
